"Like what?"

This is a debate forum, people ask questions, you answer them to continue the debate.

I will ask you for a third time...

Do you have any objective evidence that your version of a god exists?

@cristian_gavrilescu Lord Jesus: " said to love your enemy and your neighbor. darwin is the opposite of Lord Jesus. "

Human beings are social animals. A human in the wild does not have speed, armor, flight, poison, claws, fangs, climbing ability, swimming ability, or camouflage capabilities to avoid predators. A lone human is little more than a walking hamburger.

On the other hand. Put a group of humans together so that they can plan and act in unison and they become a force to contend with. Bonding is a survival characteristic of being human. Loving your neighbors, caring for one another, taking in an enemy and strengthening the gene poor after a conflict (learning to deal with and love an enemy) are all survival instincts that allowed human evolution to succeed. Were it not for our ability to bond, our species of human being would have become extinct, just like the other 7 species of humanoids.

Of course love your neighbor. What a dweeb. You don't actually thing your Bible is saying anything new do you?

Fuck me, I can't take this level of ignorance much more.

God’s way of getting you to drink...

@cristian_gavrilescu: do you need something from God?

Yes please. Could you ask him to let me win the lottery. And maybe he could make my hair grow again, something like Ted Danson's hair in the "Good Place". And I'd like a bigger house and a better car.

And if god has time, could you ask him to stop wars and disease, eliminate slavery, and maybe even stop priests from raping children.

Evolution is a curious word. Its not an object but a process, a process implying change. Its not only nature that evolves.

Languages evolve. They acquire new words and lose old ones; the meaning of words change, sometimes to the very opposite meaning. "Naughty" in the Medieval Age once meant "goodly", there are thousands of examples of this and it happens naturally through continual usage.

Ideas, formed by words, also evolve. The idea of the evolution of animals has been changing ever since it was first formally identified by ancient Greek scholars 2,500 years ago. Differences brought about by animal husbandry was most likely realised and utilised when hunters became farmers and shepherds more than 6,000 years ago. "Evolutionary theory" just one hundred years ago is nothing like how it is defined today, because the means by which we can investigate and explore the world has changed dramatically in the last century due to unprecedented evolution in technology. Sadly the "divine love" of theists have demonised and heartily condemned, a single most mortal and humble human being, Charles Darwin, for identifying the manner in which evolution in nature works, a discovery which has directly led to the marvels of modern medical science that has improved the health and lives of far many more people than the superstitious power of prayer.

Religions are also subject to the powers of evolution. The ancient Jewish pantheon of El, Elohim, Baal, El Shaddai eventually evolved into YHWH around 2000 BC but was not declared the "only" god until around 500 BC during the Babylonian exile. From there to the time of Yeshua, the Jewish religion devolved into various exlcusive and intolerant sects all declaring their own pure interpretation of the one true god.

Christianity, has also been subject to the power of evolution. It has undergone tremendous changes. As the most striking and obvious example the Holy Roman Catholic Church we know today is nothing at all like the simple Jewish faith of the twelve Christian apostles 2,000 years ago. Yeshua was an itinerant rabbi teaching Mosaic Law, arguing for a humanitarian interpretation of that law. He supposedly called for toleration between Jews. He had little interest in Gentiles. We were the swine he warned against. He also prophesised the end of the world within a single generation of his time.

The end of the world did not come but no less than 40 years later, Paul reversed nearly all of Yeshua's supposedly eternal teachings on the basis of his purely personal visions, revelations and readings of scripture, Gentiles are no longer swine. No Mosaic Law, no circumcision, no special food restrictions. The Jewish heresy evolves into a Gentile religion and there are considerable changes of doctrine to follow, and not without accompanying bloody strife and mayhem. The apparent divinely inspired teachings of Yeshua becomes a mere earthly argument thrashed out between the perceptions of Arianism, Marcionism, Montanism, Donatism et al but by might of club and torch, not Holy Spirit, Catholicism emerges as the dominant species of faith.

Over the next 2000 years Catholicism produces quarrelsome offspring like Lutherans, Calvanists, Methodists, Baptists etc and today there are more than 45,000 Christian denominations each claiming divine understanding of the "single divine truth" and the nature, thoughts and intentions of both Jesus and God Almighty. Each denomination has survived according to the popularity, or enforcement, of its specific interpretations. More recently, in enlightened societies, believers frequently move between religions, seeking 'divine wisdom' preferable to transient lifestyle tastes while some start new churches based on purely personal revelations from a peculiarly self-divided and apparently schizophrenic Christian god.

And during all this time only one group has remained unchanged. Atheists, who still hold to one single idea; a rejection of the claim of the existence of gods on the basis of insufficient evidence.
Atheism is the purest form of tolerance. No atheist needs to believe in evolutionary theory, nor the 'truth' of the Periodic Table, nor the 'miracle' of quantum mechanics, nor the policies of the Nationalist Socialist Party nor in eugenics nor genocide. We simply deny the existence of gods on the basis of anectdotal testimomy. No wars have ever been fought in the name of Atheism.
And yet, atheists are still persecuted by mainstream religions in many countries; demonised, isolated, tortured and killed by followers of gods. Self proclaimed "divinely inspired keyboard warriors" like yourself, cristian, come to to forums like AR, not in the spirit they are invited, to discuss and exchange ideas, but to simply insult condemn and judge without reason, rationality, tolerance or that love you profess to worship.
We are already demons and devils in your mind. Jesus wept.
Your petulant preaching and demonising is more like the evolution of a virus than a sentient rational being.
